I'm new to crypto; I'm wondering if I take $2k out as an initial amount to try the trading? Or get to prepare more first?
Listening to the tip of an unknown person/account to start an investment or trade puts you at risk.
Since you do not know what to invest/trading, it is better to study it thoroughly so that you do not regret losing $ 2000.
Spend more time here, learn how Bitcoin works? Price Speculation, trading bots, wallets and other basic concepts.
After gaining knowledge, you can enter the market safely.
If you learn and succeed you will earn twice, and if you fail you will win once.
